The "maddog" murderer who is terrorizing the Twin Cities is two things: insane and extremely intelligent. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, a dedicated cop and a serial killer's worst nightmare, is brought in to take up the investigation, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.

The year is 2066. A Caltech intern inadvertently notices an anomaly from a space telescope - something is approaching Saturn and decelerating. Space objects don't decelerate. Spaceships do. A flurry of top-level government meetings produces the inescapable conclusion: Whatever built that ship is at least one hundred years ahead in hard and soft technology, and whoever can get their hands on it exclusively and bring it back will have an advantage so large, no other nation can compete.

All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

After 10 years of living life on the edge, it was hard for Doc Ford to get that addiction to danger out of his system.

Just as good the second time around
This is the second time I've listened to and reviewed Mind Prey. I'll let my first one (created in December 2006) pretty much stand. Audible removed and then added the title back which is why I mistakenly downloaded it a second time. But it was worth another listen. The only difference I noted was the addition of silent pauses in places that didn't make much sense. Probably added a few minutes to the listen. Here's what I had to say five years ago: This is the fifth "Prey" book I've listened to and, so far, I think it's Sandford's best. The author has the talent for creating some pretty evil characters and John Mail is no exception. If profanity and sexual references bother you, then don't listen to this book. But if you can tolerate them as part of the story-telling process, then you must listen to this book. The narration is superb, the story is gripping and you will not want to turn off your iPod. This is one of two "Prey" suspense thrillers recently added to Audible's inventory. My next download will be the other one. Fans of Lucas Davenport will not want to miss "Mind Prey."

Some of this is hard to listen to
As much as I love the Prey series, this is not one of my favorites. If I could give it 3 & 1/2 stars I would.
The graphic sexual brutality inflicted on Andy Minette, the adult victim, was very hard for me to listen to. I ended up fast-forwarding through much of it. This is not so much a criticism as a heads-up.
I have read and listened to all the books in the series and am now working my way from beginning to end; so you can see I am a fan.

Either bad editing or bad performance
How did the narrator detract from the book?
This was either an unusual bad performance, or truly bad editing. There were MANY pauses that totally detracted from a good book.

A Gentler Davenport
Davenport and Sloan are on a mission. A young mother and her two daughters are being held by a madman who enjoys playing games with Davenport. The family is wealthy and thus the politics are challenging for the gang at HQ.
This story was well paced and kept my interest throughout.
Personally I did not find the violent acts bothersome, because although the rapes were mentioned, the author avoided description. In fact, it seemed to me that this author was extremely conservative in this regard. He avoided going into any detail with the rapes; so for me, I found that acceptable. Understandably others feel differently.
Overall, I liked this mystery, I would have given it a 3.5 if I could.

One of my favorites
This is one of my favorite Prey books. Lucas Davenport is in fine style in this novel, frequently touching the ring he has purchased for Weather and has yet to give her. The villian in this novel, John, is quite believable, as are his fantasies about a former psychiatrist. John gets excited about playing the cat and mouse game with Lucas Davenport, the man who has written many role-playing games. John knows Lucas is a good detective, but since John believes he is invincible, he doesn't see Lucas as a real threat. It's a great story, narrated by one of the best, Richard Ferrone. I used to only have the abridged version of the book, but now I have the unabridged version ... that much the better!

Everything about the book was good with the exception of the continual rape. If that does not a concern you will enjoy the book.

You Like Davenport? This is OK then.
With Audible we have the power to begin John Sanford's Lucas Davenport from the beginning. I did and recommend you do as well. If you enjoy the series, hey... this is very average. And since it's a satisfying epic, then VERY average is good...Right?

A really bad guy. Kidnapped woman and her two children. Davenport and crew race the clock to save them. Edge of your seat. Emotion packed. Will he ask Weather to marry him?

Thrilling
I really enjoy this series but this one was especially good. The suspense of how it would end, who would die and who would live was done really well.
I think one of the things I like about Lucas is as much as he's a smart cop he still doesn't have all the answers. He and his cohorts always have to work to get them. Sandford doesn't just pull them out of thin air.
LoL at Lucas playing with Weather's ring...Lucas can be such a hard case with the bad guys and still be such a pussy cat with Weather.
As always Mr. Ferrone does a fine job narrating these books. I'm glad to see he's the one doing all of the available titles. Now if audible would just fill in the holes....

Fantastic thriller
There is not a single John Sandford book which I think is anything except great. Mind prey lives up to this expectation.
The crime thriller picks up immediately where Night Prey left off, following Lucas Davenport on yet another intense adventure. And, like the other books in Sandford’s Prey series, nothing is left to imagination.
If you have not read any previous Prey books, the graphic plot and explicit language may be off-putting. However, in my opinion the rough, uncensored details make the story feel real. There are no plot clichés, no happen-stance coincidences—only a deputy chief, his team, and a whole bunch of clues.
A thriller that you won’t want to put down, and will be sad when you must, Mind Prey dives into the mind of a psychopath and a detective, interleaving them in a way only Sandford can.
